About the Quote
If we don't ask for anything, we end up with nothing. We won't always get what we ask for, but we will always receive nothing if we don't ask.
The worst that can happen when we ask for something is to be told No. Even then, it may be a temporary No. When the time is right, or if one is persuasive enough, the No becomes a Yes.
Look no further than relationships which seem to be unbelievable to most people who learn of them: the beauty queen with a beastly-looking laborer; the rich heir with the poor tramp; one person asked, and we can guess the rest.

One of Ophrah Winfrey's claims to fame is the book club which met during the airing of her television program. She started this on-air book club in 1996. She would announce the title of the book tobe discussed on-air two to four weeks ahead of the club meeting. The day the club would meet on-air, she would discuss the book with a panel specifically selected for this purpose. An almost immediate effect of the on-air book club was how quickly the book discussed would rise on the best-seller lists, sometimes reaching Number One.
